Making the most of winter days

Now that Groundhog Day has come and gone, we’re officially left with six more weeks of winter. Count me out!

Despite my hatred for cold weather, there are some upsides, such as: hot coffee (or tea), snuggling under a blanket after a long day at work and, my go-to, grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner.

Check out a few more ways to make the most of winter while it’s in our midst!

Snuggle up with IKEA textiles

One of my favorite things to do during winter is to snuggle up with a good blanket, my head against a soft pillow and a movie on the TV. The IDASOFIA throw and STOCKHOLM cushion are great options for comfort seekers on a blustery day!

Update your relaxation space

Winter is the best time to curl up on the couch with a good book or movie (or for a nap). If you’re in the market for a new sofa or loveseat, now’s the time! We love the IKEA PS 2017 loveseat – the perfect pick for when you want to take a winter snooze!

Warm up with hot chocolate or coffee

A warm drink on a cold winter’s day takes me back to my childhood. Hours after playing in the snow, my mom would greet me with a mug of hot chocolate – filled to the brim with marshmallows. It still does the trick as an adult and makes me forget about my dislike for cold weather.
